Quantum Science Seminar #04 - Jacqueline Bloch

Jacqueline Bloch Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology C2N — Université Paris Saclay — CNRS Palaiseau — France Quantum fluids of light in semiconductor lattices When confining photons in semiconductor lattices, it is possible to strongly modify their physical properties and explore the physics of a variety of Hamiltonians. Photons can behave as finite or even infinite mass particles, photons can propagate along topological edge states without back scattering, photons can become superfluid and behave as massive interacting particles. These are just a few examples of exotic properties that we can imprint into quantum fluids of light in semiconductor lattices. Such manipulation of light presents not only potential for applications in photonics, but great promise for fundamental studies of driven dissipative systems. After a detailed introduction to quantum fluids of light, I will illustrate the variety of physical systems we can emulate with this photonic platform by presenting some recent experiments related to quasi-crystals, helical photons, and photonic graphene. Perspectives in terms of quantum correlations will be discussed.
